Started a new job, is my tax calculated correctly?

Yearly gross: 80k

My monthly payslip looks like this:

Basic: 6666.67
USC: 533.33
PRSI: 266.67
Tax: 2666.67
Net income: 3200.00

Surely, my USC and Tax deductions are too high?

salaryaftertax com/ie reckons my tax deductions should be:

Gross Income:6,667
Tax Due:2,423
Universal Social Charge:328
Pay Related Social Insurance:267
Income Tax:1,828
Net Income:4,243

Would there be any reason for my employer to calculate my tax at the higher rates?

Thanks!

Thanks for replying!

No, there is no W1 or Week 1 anywhere, there is a Month 1 though?
This is my 2nd month of employment at the new company and the first payslip is exactly the same as this one.
 
Is there an e for emergency basis on the payslip.

You should ask your payroll department if they have received a certificate of tax credits for you. I would do so asap as these used to be difficult to get from Revenue toward the year end.
 
I started in the middle of the first month and the payslip at the end of the month had an indicator for emergency tax. The last 2 full months' payslips do not have that, it just has "Month 1".

I will inquire about the certificate though, thanks for the input!
 
"Month 1" suggests a week 1 basis, but that doesn't explain the 40% tax rate on its own.
